Remote Buddy releases version 1.7.1
Remote Buddy, the do-it-all remote program for OS X, has reached version 1.7.1. I haven't taken a look at this app in a long time, but they've come a long way, baby-- a few months ago they added support (via AJAX) for the iPhone, and that has added a whole new universe of functionality to controlling your computer via a remote unit. If you haven't seen it lately, check it out.The 1.7.1 update fixes a few bugs in the AJAX module, adds a warning if you don't have an Airport Express setting correct, and adds a newly rewritten driver for Front Row control. And this is all in addition to last week's big release (1.7), which added a ton of new stuff-- almost a complete rewrite of the AJAX remote, and compatibility with a ton of new programs, everything from ComicBookLover to VoodooPad.
Very impressive. Applications like this are what make it so great to be a Mac user. Remote Buddy is available for 19.99 € or as a free 30 day trial version over on their website.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Remote Buddy releases version 1.7.1?
I don't think Remote Buddy released it. I think the software company behind Remote Buddy released it. ;-)
Wow, just tried the ajax app on my touch and it's absolutely amazing.

Bye, bye Airfoil!
Very nice app indeed. Bought a license over more than a year ago (when it was only 9,99 :) ), but I kinda forgot about it. Now I happened to have an iPhone lying around and took this new version for a testdrive, works amazingly well and looks very cool!
I recently had a need for remote software and did a survey of what was available. My opinions about the programs I tried are here, if anyone's interested:

@JON - I'll admit, I chuckled.

Really, it is an awesome-looking app. I'll be checking it out when I get home.
